I read this for curiosity and I must ask. Are these birds really as "gross", "nasty" and "lazy" as you guys are saying or is there just a bit of exageration to it?

I used to live in Dallas when I was a teen. They had a program that they would catch feral cats, spay/neuter them and then re-release them. From what I understood it was to help control the rat population and by re-releasing them they were also helping population control, something like more...

Bee, that sounds amazing and surely is rejuvenating. That is the kind of place that is food for my soul.

And how many of those cans that the store sells are reused/recycled? 75%? 50%? 30%? Let's use my street as an example. It's a block long with 14 houses. Of those houses, 2 recycle. Me and one other neighbor. I can tell you that not every single can in our house gets recycled and I'm sure...

That is part of the reason we took the toys out of the kids' room in the first place. Their readmittance can and will be revoked at any time. You throw a toy and *poof* it's out. You leave a toy on the floor after I told you to pick it up? You guessed it, I've taken it. It really helped the...

Buster, obviously self-sufficiency and sustainability are not one and the same. Self-sufficiency is an excellent step towards becoming more sustainable. To me the two go hand in hand. The more you produce and create at home, the less you have to use resources that are not limitless like what...

Wildsky, I definitely understand the tantrums. My 4yo wanted to sit at the head of the table for dinner and I informed him that Dada (dh) sits there. He promptly threw the biggest tantrum we've seen in ages. He'd been in an ornery mood all day, as well. Our decision was that he go to his room...

LOL I'll bet!! That's hilarious. If you guys keep it up, I'm gonna need a new pair of pants this morning.

Yeah, that'll happen with tater skins. I only put them in a little at a time with the water running real fast. Otherwise they get run out to the compost pile.

If someone want to come and collect her (and her friend), I've got a gal, Xanthe (Faverolle) who'll go broody. EVERY time I forget to collect the eggs for a day or two, she's the one setting on them. I'm downsizing and having a hard time deciding who goes, maybe ya'll can help. I have: Addie...

:yuckyuck May my daughter grow up to deal with (rude) men's **** like that.

I may have to make one of these myself. The water and weather is so crappy here that sprinklers only last 1-2 years.

That's funny. I got a can sent to me about 4 months ago. It was addressed to Michelle. DH's name is Mitch and mine is Kelle. I passed mine along to a preggers neighbor. Had she declined I would have posted it on Freecycle. Last time, an emergency foster parent got the formula.

We, too used to live in a trailer park and had people that constantly crossed through out yard. Our problem was mostly teenagers. When we got Tyson (the bubba-dog), we taught him to bark at anyone unfamiliar like he was going to kill them. I mean we would egg him on and get him all riled up...

While I posted all the pics, I completely forgot to update with current events. I decided to downsize my flock. I'm getting rid of two of my girls. I posted them on Freecycle as I would like them to go to someone that needs them or will use them. Xanthe (Salmon Faverolle) and Lacey (blue...

Better late then never, I always say. Here are the pics as promised. Together with "basin" on top. How to stack them together. Inside the pots. Rod with gaskets and nuts. The picture doesn't show the washers that need to be added for more support. Be sure not to over-tighten the nuts on...

Could I just have a piece of everything please? If there is some chocolate pecan, I will definitely have some of that.

I'm at 4.7. I usually eat chicken and then once or twice a year have pork, once or twice a year have beef and the same with fish. They didn't really have an option to choose that. We are lucky as our town doesn't charge for recycling so I try to catch everything that can be recycled. The sad...

I had heard rumors of a pie going around but no one ever said what kind it was.

I wanted to join in on the congratulations train. Having your first is a very exciting and frightening/anxious time. As far as the food restrictions went, I only had pasteurized available. Honey was deemed somewhat. Again they preferred it safe. And as far as the lunch meat thing went, I...
